Okay, the challenge begins now! So, let the slendering begin!

Today, I had oatmeal and coffee. I might have some strawberries for snack today. Yummy!

Remember, the challenge runs through September 1st. Good luck!

I did my FIRM tape this morning. I had to kick myself in the butt the night before to make sure I get up (I was finding ways out of it)

So tomorrow is winsor pilates (after work)

This'll be my first day...yesterday was a total flop but for good reasons so I'm starting today. Not too bad! I'm going to work out this evening. I usually run for 20 minutes & then lift weights. w00t.

Well I haven't really been on track.

I mean I had a cookie and some chips for breakfast (I am having a bad day).

I let you know how I do for week 2.

I LOST A POUND!

WOOOOOO HOOOOOO! Writing down everything I eat is really helping. It's a pain in the ass... but it controls my eating habits.

I went to the gym and rode a bike for a half an hour. Tonight I am going back for yoga. Good times!

I gave myself a bit of a break over the holiday weekend. Yesterday I ate healthily and I went to the gym, but just did cardio. I ate a good breakfast this morning and did some stretching. I'll probably go do laps or go to the gym again.

I started last week and so far I've lost 2.5 lbs. What I've been doing is watching what I eat and walking EVERYWHERE! I've been walking to work which is 2 miles away and over 3 huge hills everyday as well as walking to friends places and the store, places where my roommates would drive.

As for food, I've been eating more green veggies, less bread, oatmeal, meat, and fruit juices. I've also had the red friend so I have been drinking ginger ale to help relieve the cramps. This week I'm going to start on situps to scuplt my stomach area as well as keeping on my walking.

Yeah I lost 3 lbs since last week. I have been sitting on a plateau for a while so it is nice to see some movement again.

Lady Pi Phi · #10 06-03-2004, 02:54 PM

Well I wighed my self last night (an boy was the traumatic) anyway, I've lost 2 pounds!

I think I really screwed something up on custom foods...

I was trying to make up the calorie/carb count for a sugar free vanilla (non fat, grande) latte at Starbucks. Well I used the nutrition facts from a gingerbread latte and took out about 3/4 of the carbs because the syrup is SF. However, for some reason, the protein count is at 40 grams... now I KNOW that ain't right. Oh well. It's still 203 calories.

And I wonder if it was sugar free... stupid Starbucks. Usually that drink does nothing to my blood sugars. Now they are sky high and I feel like ass...

I feel your pain. How many times have gone somewhere and asked for a diet coke and they give me regular and I have to send it back.
I didn't ask for diet because I am on a diet. I asked for it because I am a diabetic and I don't need my sugars to go through the roof.

HAHAHAHAH!!! I'm sorry to laugh, but I'm just so happy I'm not the only one!

I've been eating my normal 1 to 1.5 meals a day - I'm not a big eater. My boyfriend and our dog are helping me out. We're going for 20-30 minute walks every night ang then spending another 20-30 mins in the pool. Swimming after my dog is A LOT of excersie - and yes, he really does swim...almost does laps.

I'm going to focus more on eating healthy (need to get my 5 fruit and veggies in everyday) and actually working out. I HATE the gym...I think the place is the devil's playground. But, I know that's part of this whole thing so I just have to get off my lazy rear and go.

So far, I'm set to lose 1.5lbs per week for my total of 21lbs. I've lost 1lb so far! WOOT!

Good luck everyone!
